Tuck into a two-course afternoon tea and relax in the newly refurbished spa at a venue on the outskirts of Norwich. 

Dunston Hall is a hotel, spa and golf resort located just south of the city and it is part of The QHotels Collection. 

Dean Saunders, who has more than 30 years of experience in hospitality and leisure, was appointed the new general manager in September 2023.

Under his leadership, there have been improvements at Dunston Hall and its spa treatment area recently shut for three weeks for a refurbishment.

For the last 30 years, the spa has been run by a third party but it has now been brought back in-house.

Mr Saunders said: "We refurbished the reception, waiting area and treatment rooms and the feedback has been fantastic.

"We use Elemis products and offer a range of treatments - including new BIOTEC electric facials."

The afternoon tea has also been overhauled and it is now served over two courses, sweet then savoury, and it includes sandwiches, scones, sausage rolls and cakes.

Mr Saunders added: "We wanted to offer better value for money and we have also hired a pastry chef called Gijo who makes the treats."
